Thank you, @PinkElephant, @mackid1993, @Kheldar321, and everybody who helped to identify the source and solve the problem.

Since I last posted, everything went back to norm without any response from Evernote or notification from Comcast (Xfinity), my provider. It was clearly the latter's blocking evernote.com, and I submitted a request online to unblock and called them more than once. Finally, it's my calls and their "escalating" the problem to their level 2 support that did the trick.

Got it.

Right. Switching to the cellular connection from a different provider fixes the problem, so, as you say, it’s the provider. Who is telling me to buy equipment to enable the use of a single app instead of fixing his own blocklist.

@PinkElephantI just find it strange that Evernote is the only site/app that is affected with any DNS glitches. I am still not sure it's not Evernote itself that limited access from Pittsburgh PA, for whatever reason: nothing else has changed and it had worked with no problem until 1.5 weeks ago.

Would you know how to approach them to delist Evernote from any such filtering?

Advanced security is not enabled.

Thank you for the detailed explanations. I run a mesh, Deco. No problems with WiFi. There have not been any with anything before 1.5 weeks ago, when it started with Evernote. Now, I am concerned if there will be problems with WiFi as well if I change the router.

Xfinity recommended buying my own router and use bridge, whatever it might be (they are supposed to help with that). Their recommended ones are Arris G36 or Netgear CAX80.

I definitely am not comfortable. I’ll try to get to the ISP tomorrow again. If that doesn’t work, I’ll try to take that “bridge”, but i am out of my element there. Know nothing about any of that.

Changing DNS on the wired desktop to the https://one.one.one.one/dns/-recommended values does not resolve the EN problem. VPN does, but not on my work-provided laptop, where VPN interferes with GlobalConnect and crashes. I had a long and fruitless conversation with Comcast yesterday: after an hour of various tries, I was told that I'd be contacted with the solution in 2 hrs. Never was. Will try again. They could not change the DNS on their end either - I was told they have the same interface as I do.

will try.

I’ll let you know the result.

Thank you very much. Is there a more technical term to talk with Comcast, or “bad DNS listing is commonly used”?

I found this: "If it's a Comcast supplied gateway device, you can't change the DNS servers."

Xfinity. And the modem/router is also theirs.

I've got to the router settings, and it shows I logged in, and it DNS are listed, but I don't seem to have access to changing them. Or I don't know how to get there.

Easy for you to say. I have no idea how to get to the router and its DNS settings. The 1.1.1.1 instructions seem to be for wi-fi, but my desktop is on a wired connection. Any advice?

Shouldn’t i then call Comcast? And what do i tell them, that an app stopped working? Sorry for my ignorance.

Why does it then interfere only with EN?

I only installed vpn after the recent suggestion, and EN then ran with no problem.

@mackid1993Ill try my best, but i just winder why Evernote doesn’t care, so i have to waste days on solving an app-specific problem. It’s time to migrate, I guess, after 14 years of use.

Will I then be able to disconnect from VPN and keep my speed. Can there be any problems with changing DNS? I have a Comcast (Xfinity) internet connection. Is IP address Im have permanent, to be able to change DNS? Thank you!

On disconnecting from Proton VPN, the message "Syncing temporarily paused. You can continue editing while Evernote reconnects. was immediately back on. On reconnecting, it disappeared again.

So it looks. and they are not fixing that issue for almost a week now.
